About this map

Pushepatapa Creek and its various branches, including the West Fork and East Fork, dominate this rural landscape along the Mississippi-Louisiana border. In the early 1970s, this area of Walthall County and Washington Parish remained a patchwork of family-named landmarks and small community centers. Small settlements like Davo, Carto, and Flowers are linked by a network of rural roads and the Columbia and Gulf route, while the presence of a Lookout Tower and numerous Gravel Pits points to the local timber and resource extraction industries. The map is particularly detailed regarding community life, showing a high density of country churches such as Magee Hill Ch and Gospel Hall Ch, alongside family burial grounds like Stogner Cem and Woods Cem.
